You know I love to write, but honestly my english skills are well… lacking. But I’m trying Anyway, I was going to post a blog on a leadership rule that I learned from my dad as I was beginning to supervise at UPS. He said this,

Son don’t ask anyone to do anything that you haven’t done or wouldn’t do now.

I’ve got great thoughts but Mr. Hyatt’s are so much better. If you want a real leadership tip from me. Subscribe to michaelhyatt.com

Sorry for the delay on this post. Lots to do around the office this time of year… prepping for Summer events and all. Anywho, this is a pretty good tip and fortunately God kinda hooked me up for most of my life until I started to get it…. which is about 6-7 months ago. I know you figured, common sense would kick in, but I have CSD or Common Sense Delay, my common sense usually kicks in just after I made a mistake… I’ve heard it’s a common condition in guys.

As a young leader you generally feel like you’ve got it figured out. You are great at some things, and if you have a realistic picture of yourself, you realize you need help in some areas. Now the tendency generally is to figure it all out on your own. I mean most of your life you’ve probably done it that way. You do the searching, you do the legwork, you read the books and you put in the time to craft a skill or technique. But over time you realize the internet and books just can’t teach you some of the things that you need to know.

You see we talk in church world about relationships and how God designed each of us to have them. Both with Him and with others. And as young leaders it’s tough sometimes to get to a point where you can say honestly and not passive aggressively that I need help in this area of my life. Honoring others because we understand that we don’t get it. Knowing that we miss the mark and desperately need grace. So find some people that excel at some things that you desperately need some help. Because we don’t know it all, and we do need help. So find some people that can be honest with you and can point out to you where you are making a mistake. And then take their advice and do it.

I’ll give you some examples in my own life of areas that I need some people in my life to teach me how it’s done.

1. Finances
2. Marriage
3. Time Management
4. My view of Grace
5. Ministry
6. Marriage

Those are just a few of the things that I have people to help me with on a consistent basis. A few people help me out in many of these areas.

I’m just beginning to get this skill. My personality is a do it all. If there is something that needs to be done, then I feel like I can probably do it on my own. But I also need to be able not only to pass some things off, but also give others opportunities to shine. FYI, THOSE AREN’T THE SAME THING!

I’ve got a few other posts coming up but let me know. What’s something that you’ve struggled with as a young leader? Asking for help, Time, the Problem with Potential, Relationships, etc. What’s your thing that you had/have to get through as a young leader?
